[LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

When I do an ancestor report, I am getting several duplicates, and some multiple duplicates of the same person. I understand one situation, where brother and sister are both in my direct line of ancestors. But, the rest of the occurrences, I don't know where to start to figure out what I have done

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Thanks, I didn't even know about that tool. I'll see if I can get to the bottom of it, using that tool. Barbara Sent from my iPad > On Feb 10, 2016, at 12:06 PM, Brian/Support > wrote: > > They are probably due to other places where you have multiple >

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Brian, I used the tool to set relationships (it's actually my husband's line, so I set him as the starting person). But I do not see a + sign to right click on. I am looking on the Family screen; should I be somewhere else? On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 12:06 PM, Brian/Support

[LegacyUG] Timelines

I know it is possible to create your own timeline but is it possible to edit those provided? Edward V came to the throne in 1910 and died 1936. It was his son Edward V!!! that abdicated! See England rulers. Sue A Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp

[LegacyUG] Legacy on a laptop

I have Legacy installed on my desktop computer and maintain all my researching from there. The desktop computer is configured with TWO physical HD's --- a SSD "C" drive that contains the OS (Windows 10) and installed programs. The other a physical "D" drive contains all other data including my

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Okay, I went to the "loop" that I know is right, and even there, there is no + sign next to the relationship, above the name. Is it possible that it is because I am using Legacy 6.0? Also, I fear it is more involved than just multiple relationships...there are several cases, and they are being

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Okay, thank you. I have used the Relationship Calculator many times in 6.0, but never thought to use it to research a looping problem. I was new to Legacy when the first update came after 6.0. Some of the technical "talk" on the user group scared me off--I was barely understanding 6.0, without

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Barbara, The default location for Legacy 8 data is in your Documents folder /Documents/Legacy Family Tree/Data You can keep it wherever you like but it would be best NOT to keep it in C:\Legacy\Data with your Legacy 6 data files 1) so you aren't confused which files are Legacy 6 format and

I keep my data and image files In Dropbox. That way I can access everything no matter where I am. Even from a library or friends computer. Kathy On Wednesday, February 10, 2016, wrote: > I have Legacy installed on my desktop computer and maintain all my > researching from

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on a laptop

I think it may be best to move everything from D: to C: on your desktop. Otherwise on your desktop it will look for media on D:. Then when you copy the family data files to the laptop I think(?) will still expect media to be on D: (I think so anyway - I haven't tested this). So I'd suggest

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

fyi - my computer is running Windows 7, and it is so "old" (10 yrs) it won't run Windows 10. But it runs just fine, I'm mostly happy with it (though I am starting to get "the itch" for a new one . . . ) My wife's computer is also running Win7. I COULD upgrade her's, but for ease of consistency

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Very helpful information. If I dive in, I'm sure I'll have questions along the way. > On Feb 10, 2016, at 9:10 PM, Robert57P_gmail wrote: > > fyi - my computer is running Windows 7, and it is so "old" (10 yrs) it > won't run Windows 10. But it runs just fine, I'm mostly

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on a laptop

Bob (and Gary) It REALLY doesn't matter which drive your data is on on each computer. You just tell Legacy where your data is (Options - Customise 6.1 and 6.2) on both computers. There is clever stuff in Legacy 8 that facilitates having media on both computers recognised just by making sure 6.2

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

One question already: in 6.0, all the data is stored in the Legacy folder, which on my computer resides directly on C:\. Is that also where the data is stored (default) on 8? If I wanted to go cold turkey from 6 to 8, do I download 8 from the website, or do I have to buy it? Once installed, can

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

I've just updated to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. Seems to me much like Windows 7 with the Start Menu back to words for most of it. I'm now enjoying what is basically a new computer as I saved all my data and took my laptop to a computer tech and asked him to put a clean install of Windows 10 on

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Barbara, No one is forcing you to go to Windows 10 from Windows 7. There are ways to stop being offered Windows 10 but you probably need someone more familiar with computers to implement them. If they don't know how, they can Google it. Legacy 8 installs in a completely different place to Legacy

Gary, Here are the directions from the Legacy website - Support section. http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00505/14/Tips-and-How-Tos/Moving-Your-Family-File-From-One-Computer-to-Another.html First you need to install Legacy on your laptop. You can legally use Legacy on the
